Outdoor Research Aspire Jacket for WomenThe Outdoor Research Aspire Jacket for Women is a great choice for all your cool and cold weather outdoor needs. It's made with a durable 40D Gore-Tex Paclite fabric and a Gore-Tex membrane to seal out the elements and keep you warm and dry. Fully taped seams offer further protection from the water, when you re caught in a downpour. A women-specific fit contours to your shape for a stylish, chic look. The TorsoFlo hem-to-underarm zipper vents allow air to move freely in the jacket and ventilate you, by releasing excess body heat. There is also a drawstring hem and hook-and-loop elastic cuffs provided to help you seal out cold and chilly drafts. It is also lightweight (13.7 oz.) and easy to carry on your trips. The Outdoor Research Aspire Jacket for Women serves you well while you explore the outdoors.

I am a skier and use the Outdoor Research Aspire jacketa (Gore Tex) as my outer shell and use the OR Mithril as a midlayer. The jackets keep me plenty warm and dry. Here in the East it can be windy, cold, and sometimes quite wet. Both jackets are well made, reliable, and work well together.
